I had emailed as a last attempt as I was under the impression that they did not sell the raw .093 angle. It is a little pricey and it must be truck shipped because of the 10+ft length for the spars but it is available from them and you don't need that much. "Kevin, You can purchase the 3/4x3/4x.093 ext angle for $3.80 ft. If we ship in 12 foot lengths it would ship by truck freight."

Just set their length so they went up to the edge, and started riveting them 10 mm in from the end. Came out pretty good; there was no loss of "stiffening" effect. Since the skin doesn't flex and roll very well once the stiffeners are cleco'd to it, you'll want to cleco the leading edge of the skin to the spar without the stiffeners attached, then reach underneath the skin to position the stiffeners in place. Hope that makes sense. John Flavin Olathe KS 6 years into a 2-year project. If I built any slower, I'd be taking it apart.
